New chapter, yay!
:Chirp, chirp, chirp:
:sweat drop: Will someone please get those grasshoppers out of here.
with Kagome;;
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! BEEP!
"Alright already, I'm up!"
Kagome pulls her head out from under the comforter on her bed and glares menacingly at the alarm clock.
"Why did I set it so early again?"
She sits up and scratches her head, trying to remember what she was thinking when she set her alarm clock for seven in the morning instead of letting herself sleep in until two in the afternoon.
"Ah ha! I have to finish typing up the songs for the performance tonight!" :sweat drop: "And why did I think I needed to get up early for that?"
Suddenly suspicious she studies the clock.
"Wait a minute. It's been moved an inch to the left," She reaches down to pull the cord up from under her bed, "and the cord has been tangled."
"SOTA, SHIPPO! Why did you turn on my alarm clock?"
Scrambling comes from outside her door as the two boys in question rush to find safety from their sister's wrath.
:Groan: "Well I'm already awake might as well get up."
With Inuyasha;;
Ring! Ring! RING! RING!
A hand snakes out from under the covers and snatches the phone, bringing back under the covers to Inuyasha's head.
"What do ya want?" He answers in a groggy and unhappy voice.
"Come on sleeping beauty it's almost one! Time to wake up!" Miroku answers in a pleasantly cheerful voice.
"What are you talking about Miroku?"
"I'm talking about us going to that hangout club. You remember the one that we passed on the way to the arcade yesterday."
"Grumble, grumble, I remember, but we're not going until five. Why are you calling me so early?"
"Early? If I hadn't called you might not have woken up in time. Now you're awake and I won't have to worry about you not showing up and abandoning me there all alone. Well, see ya at five. Bye!"
The phone is thrown out from under the covers and slooowwly a head pokes itself from under as well.
Inuyasha throws the cover off and heads for the bathroom. Grumbling the entire way about perverted annoying friends.
With Kagome;;
"Sango you need to get over here and help me load the truck."
Kagome had been arguing with Sango for a good hour and ten minutes when she looked at the clock and noticed that it is time to head to the hangout club.
"I can't load all of the instruments, and the guys need theirs too."
"Alright, I'm coming. You start and I'll help when I get there."
"Fine, but I'm leaving some stuff for you to load in case you think about waiting until you think that everything is loaded."
"Awww man, fine I'll come right over since there's no point in waiting anymore."
"Okay, bye!"
"Haha triumph." Kagome smiles as she hangs up the phone.
"Now to load the guitars and keyboards and wait for Sango to come and help load the drums."
After many struggles and near catastrophes the truck is loaded and at five Sango and Kagome are heading to the hangout club.
;;At the hangout club;;
The truck is unloaded and the stage area is being set up as Sango and Kagome wonder around in the back stage area talking to the other members of their little band.
"Hey Rin, Ayame! Are ya'll ready for tonight?"
"Hey girls, yeah I'm ready." Rin answers.
Ayame nods in agreement.
"I can't wait to perform the new songs and see how everyone reacts." Says Ayame.
"I hope it's a good reaction." Says Kagome.
Everyone nods in agreement to that statement and begins to get their instruments set up the way they like them.
They walk onto the stage and look out into the empty room.
Kagome stands in the center of the stage with Ayame back and to her right and Rin to the left. Sango is behind and in between Rin and Kagome and diagonal to Ayame.
All of the girls are wearing black leather pants and makeup.
Sango has on high heel boots, a tight sleeveless purple v-neck shirt, and bands around her left upper arm. Her hair is in a high ponytail.
Rin has on lace up sandals and is in a tight white shirt with sleeves that come to her elbows. Her hair is in a half ponytail.
Kagome has on lace up high heel boots and a tight dark red shirt with no sleeves. It has four bright red scratches running diagonal along her stomach and chest. She has on black arm warmers that go from her elbow to her wrist and cover her hand in a triangle and only go around her middle fingers. Her hair is in a braid. And as always you can see the necklace that she wears, a silver chain with a circular blood red stone on it.
Ayame is wearing black slippers, a tight black shirt that has only one sleeve on her right arm that comes all the way down the her hand. On her left arm she has a silver design of curves and lines drawn from the tips of her fingers to her shoulder. Her hair is left down.
Kagome and Rin mess with their guitars and tuning them, Ayame messes with her keyboard, and Sango is messing with her drums.
They all have a microphone set up in front of them so that they can all join in the singing. (It never seems right to me to have one person sing by themselves when everyone else can join in.)
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Real quick A/N.
The club is a big rectangle with the doors at the front and then a bar area in the corner and against the wall farthest from the doors. Then next to that is a sitting area where people can walk around and sit at tables or sit over at hangout areas on couches and big comfy chairs.
Then it's the dance area with a stage and dance floor and concert setting.
Use your imagination since I can't describe it that well.
Outside the club;;
Inuyasha stands glaring at Miroku.
"So when were you going to look at the times for the club?" He asks Miroku.
"Well, uh." Miroku stands looking at the closed door to the club and twiddles his thumbs.
"Look at the times now." Inuyasha states angrily.
"Well what do you know, they don't open until six."
"And it's only five twenty now."
"Let's go down the street to the arcade and wait for them to open. I don't want to miss the band performance tonight though so we'll have to check our watches a lot."
"Fine, fine, let's go and wait at the arcade then."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
At six Inuyasha and Miroku run back to the club to try and push their way into the steadily growing line.
"I don't believe you talked me into coming here." Inuyasha says.
"I didn't, you wanted to come here." Miroku replies. "Besides just wait until you hear the Sirens play tonight. Their a pretty good band." Miroku says with a glint of mischief in his eyes that Inuyasha fails to see.
"Feh."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
The four girls stick their heads out from behind the side of the stage.
"Wow, it's packed." Ayame whispers.
The other girls just nod numbly and pray that they can get through the performance. It is after all only their third at the hangout club.
The announcer calls to the crowd that the Sirens will be playing tonight and out walk the girls to take their positions at their instruments.
The lights go on illuminating the stage and suddenly they are the center of attention.
The adrenaline starts racing and every girl breathes in and out slowly. This is what they have been practicing for, at this moment nothing else matters except for the other people up on stage and the music.
The cords begin from the keyboard soon joined by the drums and then the guitars and the song has begun.
There are angels up there that are always watching overThere's a devil down there that is trying to take over
I don't wanna go up and I'm not going under
I just wanna stay here right here in the middle
Angels up there, devils down there
I'm staying right here in the middle
This spot is mine
I've already claimed it
I'm not above and I'm not under
I'm a little of both so watch out
Angels are the best
Devils are the rest
But who says you can't be in between
I'm gonna live in this world
But I'm gonna do it by my own rules
Angels up there, devils down there
I'm staying right here in the middle
This spot is mine
I've already claimed it
I'm not above and I'm not under
I'm a little of both so watch out
Yeah I'm a little of bothSo watch out
(fast tempo)
The music slows, the keyboard stops and the drums stop, but before the guitars play the last cord the keyboard start up again and the music continues in a chain with a soft beat this time.
I go to sleep alone
For a long and restless night
Then wake up in the morning
Cursing all the light
I stumble to the bathroom
And stare into my eyes
There's a pain reflecting in the depths
That I try to hide inside
Where is my Hero
Where is my Knight
Where is the man who can help to make things right
I remember all the stories told to me when I was younger
And through the years of sorrow
It makes a person wonder
Are the things I dream about merely make believe
Oh look at this world and tell me where our dreams are coming from
And then tell me
Where is my Hero
Where is my Knight
Where is the man who can help to make things right
The performance continues with a few more songs, and finally the chain of music stops and the girls listen to the cheers and stand in the light grinning at each other.
The lights on the crowd sparkle and catch Kagome's eyes.
#Was that? No I don't think it was.#
Waving catches her eye and she looks up to see Miroku standing on the second level walkway waving frantically down at the girls. Inuyasha stands next to him making sure that he doesn't fall over the edge, or trying to push him over she can't tell.
She looks back to motion to Sango, Rin, and Ayame to look up. They all hold in their laughter and walk off of the stage to go freshen up and then join in the dancing.

Ok that was my chapter 6. Hope that you like it. Can you people do me a favor and tell me what you think of the songs. A friend of mine who wants reviews for them manipulated me into putting them in the chapter. I don't know how you can really review them when you haven't actually heard them just read them, but they're there.
I guess you could say I'm her public relations person. Meh, oh well.
Please review. Thank you. And thank you to the loyal reader who prompted me to write this next chapter. Love ya'll.
